Clam Cleanup
Biologists are able to
determine the sources of
toxins in water by using
clams as pollutant traps.
Clams naturally clean water
by feeding absorbing toxins
in their tissues as they
draw in water. By placing

Bacteria As Art
Biophysicists are growing
Petri dishes of different
species of bacteria in order
to develop new antibiotics.
The bacteria are subjected
to different temperatures
and have limited food
sources inside the dish.

Slower Growing Grass
Horticultural scientists
bred a new, slower-growing
variation of St. Augustine
grass. It grows about half
as fast as normal grass,
resists cinch bugs, and its
fine blades have a deep
green color. ... > full story
Whale Medicine Makes Scars Disappear
Veterinarians added a
bioadhesive to an existing
antimicrobial agent in order
to make it an effective
protective agent for aquatic
animals such as whales. The
adhesive was originally
